Título: A technological innovation plan for enterprises in the Azores
Autor: Correia, Ana Maria R
Resumo: The INOTEC-Empresa – the Technological Innovation Plan for Enterprises in the
Autonomous Region of the Azores (RAA) - was developed in 2006-2007, at the
request of the Regional Government, with the main aim of promoting innovation
within small and medium enterprises. The methodological approach used in the
development of the INOTEC – Empresa Plan was designed to obtain a comprehensive
view of regional actors and included a document review, participation of the
various actors through interviews, a collection of statements from RAA – Região
Autónoma dos Açores – entrepreneurs, academics, public leaders and other key
players, together with an analysis of their views and a survey of the innovation
dynamics of the most relevant Azorean enterprises. The INOTEC-Empresa – the
Technological Innovation Plan for Enterprises – comprises seven programmes aimed
at promoting innovation in the Region. This paper focuses on the Programmes for
Qualification of Human Resources and the Development of Scientific and
Technological Capacities for Innovation. Some socio-economic data and the
metrics selected to assess and benchmark the implementation of the Plan will alsFri, 01 Jan 2010 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/39222010-01-01T00:00:00ZThe European challenge of KM and innovation: a skills and competence portfolio for the knowledge worker in SME'shttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/4090

Resumo: Globalization, bringing about universal and dynamic transformations in
every sector of the economy, is placing organizations everywhere in new
and different competitive situations. In this context, the need for improvement of
enterprise performance and economic growth makes increasing demands
for timely knowledge in the workplace. The knowledge resource and its effective management enables institutions and nations to maintain their vitality through economic growth and increased productivity.
This chapter highlights the European strategy towards a knowledge-based society
where innovation and competitiveness are the goals to be achieved. The
Portuguese scenario concerning small and medium enterprises and the
creation of a Portuguese knowledge and information economy are also
described. Some approaches to knowledge management (KM), contributing
to understanding the scope of this emergent domain, are introduced. The
skills and competencies that a knowledge manager should develop in
order to perform his/her job are discussed. The chapter concludes by
mapping the main areas of study and practice that the authors consider
as relevant to performing an effective knowledge management function.

Resumo: In a context of global change, Universities will play an important role, not only in the traditional education and training of youth but also by providing opportunities for LLL, helping citizens, of all ages, to update and add to the knowledge acquired in their initial education. LLL implies that learning should take place at all stages of the lifecycle (from cradle to grave) and, even that it should be “lifewide” (European Commission, 2001)— that is embedded in all life contexts, be they school, workplace, the home or the comm

Título: Models for pheromone evaluation in Ant Systems for Mobile Ad-hoc networks

Resumo: On a mobile ad-hoc network environment, where the resources are scarce, the knowledge about the network's link state is essential to optimize the routing procedures. This paper presents a study about different pheromone evaluation models and how they react to possible changes in traffic rate. Observing how the pheromone value on a link changes, it could be possible to identify certain patterns which can indicate the path status. For this study, the behavior of the Ant System evaluation model was compared with a Temporal Active Pheromone model (a biological approach) and a Progressive Pheromone Reduction model with and without a maximum pheromone limit.Thu, 01 Jan 2009 00:00:00 GMThttp://hdl.handle.net/10362/71272009-01-01T00:00:00Z
